Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and present strength proportioned throughout frame. Ran a 6.98 60-yard dash. Primary outfielder, takes a quick first step to the ball, shows some snatch to hands fielding the ball and fields it cleanly, longer arm action working to a three-quarters release, remains on time and shows true carry, will continue to refine, present arm strength with carry to intended target. Also pitched, full windup on the mound with a controlled operation, works to a higher slot with present arm strength up to 80 mph with the fastball; changeup tumbles late and shows low spin rates up to 74 mph. Switch-hitter, begins with a narrow base and a high hand set and back elbow from the right side; utilizes a hover leg lift for timing, stays short to the ball and shows fast hands. Gets downward with path at times, best contact working on a linear path and should continue to unlock additional strength in swing, tools to build upon. High hand set and back elbow with an open stance from the left side, still stays short to the ball from this side, more lift in path here with similar hover leg lift. Shows balance to swing and ball jumps with some authority when squared up. Excellent student. Named to the Pitt Indoor Top Prospect List.
